The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 30
Chapter 30
Seeing the group chat was bustling, Jiang Zhouzhou rolled over on her bed, a few unruly strands of hair sticking up from her head.
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: Good morning, everyone~]
[Xiaomi Congee: Morning, Zhouzhou Baby.]
[Tomato and Egg Stir-fry: My daughter is up so early? I thought you’d sleep until noon.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Morning.]
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: Brother Cockroach, you missed so much last night. Do you have time to watch the stream tonight? @Sexy Mother Cockroach]
“Sexy Mother Cockroach” was the first fan to support her, so he naturally held a special place in Jiang Zhouzhou’s heart.
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: Not sure. The partner for the new project is too difficult to deal with. They won’t even give an extra cent of interest. I’ve never seen anyone so stingy.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: I’ll let you know once the deal is finalized.]
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: Okay!]
[Tomato and Egg Stir-fry: Brother Cockroach, work hard and make that money! Then you can give all those earnings to Zhouzhou Daughter as tips, hehe~]
[I Love Drinking Porridge: Brother Cockroach’s status is about to be threatened.]
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: No, no, Baby Cockroach is different in my heart. He’ll always be number one.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Oh?]
[Xiaomi Congee: What about me then?]
[Xiaomi Congee: Can I be ranked second?]
[Xiaomi Congee: Third is fine too.]
Everyone in the group silently watched Xiaomi Congee spam the chat…
Why did this person suddenly seem so pathetic!
[Chenguang is a Dog: Like I said, he’s just like a dog.]
[Chenguang is a Dog has been Muted for 10 minutes by Moderator Xiaomi Congee.]
[Hahahahahaha, Dog Brother can’t escape the fate of being muted no matter where he goes!]
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: I’m getting out of bed now. I plan to stream at 2:00 PM today. If you guys have time, remember to come to the stream. For those who don’t, don’t worry-I’ll turn on the VOD replay.]
[I Love Drinking Porridge: It’s good to stream early. Use the current hype to gain a wave of fans.]
[Tomato and Egg Stir-fry: As a young woman living off her parents, I might not have money right now, but I have plenty of time. I’ll definitely be there on time.]
[Century Egg and Pork Congee: Thank you, everyone! (*￣3￣)╭]
After Jiang Zhouzhou exited the chat, the fan group remained lively, but Xiaomi Congee didn’t pop up again.
Someone seemed to notice something was off, and a quiet discussion started in the group.
[Big Boss Xiaomi Congee has tipped so much, doesn’t he deserve to be ranked second?]
[He probably could have been second before, but Nanfeng tipped over nineteen million in one go last night. His status is definitely above Xiaomi Congee’s now.]
[Zhouzhou isn’t the type of person to treat people differently based on their wealth. Is there something going on between her and Xiaomi Congee privately… ah?]
[Xiaomi Congee: What kind of nonsense are you talking about? What’s inside your heads every day? Zhouzhou didn’t answer me because she was worried that if she did, others would keep asking the same thing. If she ranked us randomly, it would make other fans unhappy, so she just avoided the topic entirely.]
[Xiaomi Congee: That’s called high emotional intelligence. Don’t you guys get it?]

[I stand corrected.]
Lin Chen stared at his phone gloomily. He couldn’t figure out why Jiang Zhouzhou seemed to be…
He frowned, searching his mind for the right word.
-Avoiding him.
Yes, that was it.
She seemed to be intentionally maintaining a distant, formal gap between them.
While her attitude was somewhat warm during the streams, she was incredibly cold in private.
He had tipped other female streamers before, and those streamers would send WeChat messages every morning, noon, and night to maintain their relationship with a Big Brother, each one more enthusiastic than the last.
But when it came to Jiang Zhouzhou… it was entirely him chasing after her, while she remained indifferent.
At that moment, Lin Chen’s WeChat started buzzing incessantly.
Though he didn’t hold much hope, he still quickly tapped on the app.
Zhou Xian: [Dog wagging its tail emoji.jpg]
Zhou Xian: [Simp dog emoji.jpg]
Zhou Xian: [Dog standing in the corner for a timeout emoji.jpg]
Zhou Xian: [Look at this dog. Doesn’t it look like you?]
Zhou Xian: [Blehh, Mute me here too if you’ve got the guts-] (Your message failed to send.)
Before the last message could even finish sending, Zhou Xian was greeted by a bright red exclamation mark.
Zhou Xian: “…”
Jiang Zhouzhou had no idea what had transpired in the fan group after she left.
The reason she had ignored “Xiaomi Congee” was because of the Danmaku he had sent yesterday…
[Xiaomi Congee: I don’t care about winning or losing; I care about you.]
Unlike “Sexy Mother Cockroach” and “Nanfeng,” “Xiaomi Congee” was the most direct and the most passionate…
But Jiang Zhouzhou was clear-headed. She had no intention of having any social interactions with these Big Brothers outside of the stream.
Therefore, she could only deliberately keep her distance to nip that possibility in the bud.
Some of the streaming props and clothes she bought had arrived today. Jiang Zhouzhou went out to pick up her packages and took the opportunity for some Feeding of that bullied White Cat.
The White Cat was very guarded. Jiang Zhouzhou planned to wait until it was familiar with her before “kidnapping” it to end its carefree life as a stray.
Back at her rental, she received several messages on WeChat. A college roommate she hadn’t been in touch with for a while had suddenly reached out.
Xu Yiyi: [Zhouzhou, how have you been lately?]
Xu Yiyi: [It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other after graduation. The classmates who stayed here in Haishi organized a reunion. You should come too!]
Xu Yiyi: [No saying no!]
Jiang Zhouzhou, who was just about to type a refusal: …
During her school days, aside from her roommates, her relationships with others were quite distant. This kind of gathering wasn’t suited for her at all.
However, Xu Yiyi had helped her a lot during school, making it impossible for her to refuse.
Jiang Zhouzhou: [Okay. Remember to send me the time and location.]
The other side replied quickly.
Xu Yiyi: [It’s set for this Sunday at 6:00 PM. I’ll share the location of the party with you directly.]
Xu Yiyi: [By the way, how’s the job hunt going?]
Jiang Zhouzhou: [I just found one. It’s alright.]
Xu Yiyi: [That’s good. Sigh, the current employment environment is just too difficult, especially for good positions. The competition is terrifyingly high. When I first stayed in Haishi, I thought I’d make a big splash, but reality gave me a heavy blow.]
Listening to Xu Yiyi’s complaints, Jiang Zhouzhou could deeply relate.
If she hadn’t become a Female Streamer, she would still be part of the masses facing employment difficulties.
Especially a while back, a famous influencer had mocked the difficulty college students were having finding jobs. Instead of considering the various factors brought about by the market and the economy, he blamed everything on a lack of effort. Using a condescending tone, he spoke with cold irony, completely forgetting that he had once faced the same predicament.
Jiang Zhouzhou felt this was a form of “Backstab.”
But the one he was “backstabbing” wasn’t just the demographic of college students-it was his own former self.
After ending the chat with Xu Yiyi, Jiang Zhouzhou ordered takeout and began applying her makeup to prepare for the afternoon stream.
Time passed quickly, and at 2:00 PM sharp, Jiang Zhouzhou started her broadcast on time.
